Thanks! I'm really happy these videos continue to help!

I did enjoy our time in town, which was all too short. The river trip was cool because we could cozy up to sloths and monkeys!😀

Yep. That's what we do exactly. Very short trip to the airport! We just have carry ons.

Noted. Thank you.

Given that taxi prices there are not regulated, we had no absolute way to judge price. The price we got quoted at the end of the ride was NOT what we initially agreed to- $40 each way for a 10 minute trip seemed excessive. Our second taxi driver agreed to 20 for the whole way back (same distance), plus added stops along the way.

Google maps. I'd research points of interest ahead of time and save them in favorites before the trip. But it's just starting point. Maps still worked on most of the island. Plus the island is small.

Appreciate it, my friend! I would vote for that too. Actually, anything hand done and local. But for an FYI, here comes the short.🙂

Lucky! Have an awesome time! 😁

Thank you so much! We really enjoyed Belfast and hope to come back, there alot to take in. We especially liked the market! Here's hoping you find your next cruise soon!

Thanks!

Great! Glad the video helped and hope you have wonderful trip!

I should let him know that! What made this one a bit worse was this was embarkation day, so very busy. But cool, I'll pass this along. Thanks!!

Thank you👍 kind sir

Cool. My mother and father in law stayed here and they were quite comfortable. Don't forget to check out the "secret balcony" nearby.🤫

Worth the wait tho! Big and luxurious!

Quite welcome! Hope you have a wonderful time!

Noted. Thank you!

Yes it was. Right next to all the cabbies. 🙂

There should be facilities along with the food vendors close to shore.

@@ThePortLowdown Thanks!

You're welcome. We really enjoy it there!

You're quite welcome. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

With Blue shirt volunteers to help and offer a great welcome, it's one of the more pleasant experiences during our trips to Mexico. 🙂

Yeah, I hear you about crowds. Our schedule limited us to summer, so there you go. If we had more time, exploring the smaller islands might have been better. Our ideal time to visit is closer to shoulder season, around October. Much less crowds and cooler weather. At the moment, we're part of the invading herd. And it was hot! I wear that silly duck bill hat for a reason- it saves me! I would say Greece is such a rich and important destination, it's worth going to - on the off season if you can manage it.

@@ThePortLowdown Thank you for your reply. I'm retired and my wife can vacation whenever she wants. So on your advise, we will be looking at the off seasons.

Great! And lucky you! I'd love to know how it all works for you. 👍👍

BTW, this lady's website has some good info too. Not cruise related, but pretty detailed about all things Greek www.greecetravelsecrets.com/

Oooooh man! Thanks, that's an important note for me. I frequently miss pronunciation, but I try. If you really want to laugh, try some of my Iceland videos...Lots of pitfalls in Icelandic!

Very cool. I DO enjoy military ships, and that will be on my to-do list next time around. Thanks again!

Thanks! Glad to see this first video is still being useful!

June 2024. Thanks for watching!

I hear you. I'd rather have more variety across their ships, but their biggest consumers are still the US. Even on Asian cruises.

Noted. Thank you!

Thanks for watching the video. Have a great trip!

Thanks! It was fun!

Thanks so much! And Happy New Year!

I think this is the same one we went to. The rum raisen was good too!

Thanks so much, and Happy New Year!

Ships, like planes, are "moving targets" that can only connect via satellite. 5 years ago, these systems weren't available to the public or very expensive and slow. So progress is moving along as far as access, but those satellite systems are still expensive to install, use, and maintain. Hopefully, tech will keep getting cheaper. In the meantime, we sometimes opt out of buying access and wait to dock so we can jump on local 4 or 5G.

@ThePortLowdown They use starling now. No excuse. They have it if you pay it. 😆 🤣 😂

@@thegoodspear17Then don’t go. No one likes doom scrollers on ships anyhow, ppl like you tend to sap everyone’s energy. Not to mention ruin the fact you’re incapable of seeing the million and one things that other hospitality industry that don’t offer

You're welcome!

Port cancellations are not uncommon in the Caribbean, since many docks face the fickle open ocean. Hope you get to see your whales! Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind that tour too. 🙂

Sorry, I don't have his card. His driver or cab ID may be visible in the video at 6:10.

Well, I have to agree that these dedicated resort beaches are not always the best. It's really about the convenience and comfort of staying on a cruise line property.

Yes. Under their terms and conditions, the drink packages apply to their private islands.

Thanks!

I assume you mean the taxi drivers.

@@ThePortLowdown first taxi driver wasnt good, anyways am from d island and i remembered this day, i saw myself in your video , it was raining a lot

Certainly was. Had a pretty good time anyway!

Quite welcome!

It's lovely. We always enjoy Canada!

Noted. Thanks!

Awesome! Wish we were there!

You're welcome!

I'm the same way and, frankly, this port had the most intense heat I'd ever experienced at a port this far. So pack a good hat and keep the sunblock handy. Totally worth it tho.
